The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has expanded its recall of pistachios due to potential salmonella contamination by adding various Peace by Chocolate and NuttyHero products. The recent recall announcement, made on Friday, encompasses a range of Peace by Chocolate bars and assorted chocolates distributed nationwide, either individually or as part of assorted packs. Among the affected products are Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio and Kunafa Bar, The Peace Maker Specialty Bars, Trans Canada Trail — Peace Seeker, as well as the Classic Box, Proudly Canadian box, and assorted filled chocolates. Some Peace by Chocolate items seem to have custom labels for entities like TD, Dexterra, First Onsite Property Restoration, and Tri-County Regional Centre for Education.
Additionally, NuttyHero nut and seed butters in flavors like maple cinnamon, coconut crunch, and chocolate bliss were included in the recall on the same day. Over the past few months, numerous pistachios and pistachio-containing products have been recalled in Canada. Individuals who suspect they possess recalled items should dispose of them and seek medical advice if experiencing any symptoms. Salmonella-contaminated food may not exhibit visible signs of spoilage but can lead to illness, with symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Vulnerable groups like young children, pregnant women, seniors, and individuals with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of severe illness.
